Re: Fantasy / Science Fiction book series
Oh man I hate Goodkind's "Wizard's First Rule" books. I mean I read the first one, the second one, the third... then I started getting furious. I couldn't stop reading them tho (figured he would end the series eventually and I would be released from this hell).
People talk about Jordan milking his series. Goodkind is the master of milking.
Every book is something stupid about how Richard and Kahlan can't be together. Nobody in the books has any empathy whatsoever so each person has to describe in boring detail how they're feeling. It doesn't matter how many times Richard proves that he knows what he's doing, it will always end up that everyone thinks he's crazy making it just infuriating to read these books. Jeesus Christ...
That being said, Stephen King's Dark Tower series was probably my favorite fantasy/sci-fi story.
I seem to remember really liking David Eddings books about Sparhawk (the Elenium?)
